Spider Spins Ant-Repellent Silk

Is that spider a picky eater? Spiders will eat ants; I used to drop big black ants into spider webs as a child to watch the mayhem. Ants panic when they find themselves in the middle of a spider web, it's almost instinctual that they are in serious trouble. The spider wakes up and is like "WTF?" and will dart out and put some serious bites to it.

I don't know about fire ants though, they might be hard to eat, or they might be prime rib for spiders. Just as long as they get the first bite in on them, it's all good.

I think there is more to being "ant repellent" than a chemical, right?
